Moving IL-2 to another ssd

[Yankee_One]

At the moment i have the whole IL-2 GB on a hdd.

I want to install it on a new ssd.

After downloading the launcher what do i have to do?

 

1, Is it possible to have two copies with different path without problems?

One on the HDD (this will be deleted later), the other on the SSD

2, Is it possible after installing the launcher on the new SSD then copy the whole folder of 222 GB on the new SSD?

 

Thank you

install the game clean on the SSD. then copy over the "data" folder. The jgsme should be installed new on the SSd, and if you use mods, reinstall them.

I don't think so; however you can use directory junctions:

First delete the old installation, then install on your SSD. Then, in command prompt:

mkdir /J old_installation_path_on_your_HDD new_path_on_your_SSD

 

This'll make the old location link to the new one.
